Coach Jacques Martin said Forsberg was injured during a 5-3 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Friday. ... Chabot (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision, Martin said; Guenette was recalled from Belleville on Saturday and the defenseman will play if Chabot cannot. ... Tkachuk is expected to play after missing the final 4:04 of the third period Friday after colliding with Coyotes forward Liam O'Brien. ... Atkinson could play after being scratched the previous two games. ... Sandstrom is expected to make his season debut after being recalled from Lehigh Valley of the AHL on Thursday. ...
